The Adobe Connect block is contributed code that provides single sign on (SSO) with an Adobe Connect server, it also creates Adobe Connect rooms and users from Moodle courses and users. As web conferencing software, Adobe Connect has audio/video, screen sharing, text chat and conferencing tools.


Features

Simple one-way synchronization from Moodle to Adobe Connect. It creates the course room the first time a course user accesses, as well as the user-room assignment and the user itself.

There are two capabilities, one for Adobe Connect "host" role, usually a teacher, and another for Adobe Connect "view" role.

The block uses the Adobe Connect web services to create rooms, create users, assigns users to rooms and login users into Adobe Connect from Moodle, in order to do that, Adobe Connect administrator credentials must be configured on the block settings page.

The Adobe Connect rooms names are the Moodle course id, and the users are created with the Moodle email as Adobe Connect username and the username in md5 as password.
